ITs a good game. What can i say

SHOULD I PLAY MONSTER HUNTER NOW? Skip it unless you’re really itching for a Pokémon Go alternative. Monster Hunter Now is the latest Pokémon Go clone from Niantic, and while it’s entertaining enough, it doesn’t capture the qualities that make Monster Hunter great. There are plenty of familiar monsters to fight, like Pukei-Pukei and Barroth, but the battles aren’t much more than a series of button taps. I love the idea of

The Last of Us clickers and bloaters, nothing instills more fear than that horrible clicking sound or bloater yell, along with the spooky ambiance.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re at all a fan of Vampire Survivors and its many clones and imitators. Bio Prototype takes the one-tiny-character-versus-hundreds-of-baddies and adds in a healthy dose of science. You play as a lab experiment gone wrong. Instead of just leveling up and unlocking a growing list of power-ups, you earn both internal and external body parts and must work out a functioning evolutionary path for your creation. This extra layer of depth adds a ton to an already addictive genre of games.

SHOULD I PLAY WYTCHWOOD ON MOBILE? Definitely check it out if you haven’t already played it on other platforms. Wytchwood is a cozy crafting game with some seriously spooky vibes. I tested the game on iPhone and Android, and both versions ran perfectly. Moving around and navigating menus is a breeze, and the colorful, creepy visuals look absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect game to play on a dark, stormy night.

SHOULD I PLAY VAMPIRE SURVIVORS: EMERGENCY MEETING? If you’ve already sunk dozens or even hundreds of hours into Vampire Survivors, then you’ve probably already bought this add-on. But just in case you were wondering, yes, the new Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting DLC is excellent. It doesn’t seem like this game’s intense, mostly single-player action would be a great match with the social deduction stylings of

Perhaps not the most horrific... but the Xenomorph from alien isolation is has the most brilliant monster AI in any survival game. It adapts to your every move. It's so incredible, the IGN reviewer gave it a low score saying "the AI is too smart" indirectly saying the monster AI is smarter than him 🤣

SHOULD I PLAY BLADE X: ODYSSEY OF HEROES? Skip it, unless you really enjoy hack-and-slash games. Blade X: Odyssey of Heroes offers an action-packed hack-and-slash combat experience with RPG elements, like skill enhancements, gear upgrades, and character leveling. Unfortunately, it’s dragged down by repetitive gameplay, a lack of rewards, and a bunch of annoying microtransaction and ad promotions. TIME PLAYED

Resident Evil 4 is a game I’d recommend to absolutely anyone. It’s a masterpiece of the survival horror genre, with smooth, satisfying combat and some fantastically spooky set pieces. The original was already a stone-cold classic, but the 2023 remake refined its graphics and gameplay mechanics, making the game feel better than ever. It’s something that everyone should play at least once, but if you have literally any other options, you probably shouldn’t play it on mobile.

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

Towaga: Among Shadows is a casual but insanely fun action-adventure game with beautiful 2D visuals and smooth animation that explores a world of darkness from the perspective of a light-bringing warrior. After an hour of monster slaying, I’ve come to enjoy Towaga: Among Shadows’s simple shoot ‘em up gameplay and storyline. In Towaga: Among Shadows, I embarked on an adventure to save a stunning Aztec-themed world from evil monsters seeking to ravage everything in its sight. I had to battle against various creatures using abilities and a beam of light that I could redirect willingly with the swoosh and hold of a finger. I’ve found the story mode more enjoyable so far, despite only dabbling in the game’s survival mode, but I’ve yet to play multiplayer.

Horror fans are still eagerly awaiting the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2, but Konami made a surprise reveal today that makes the wait just a little less painful. During today's State of Play stream, Sony played a trailer for Silent Hill: The Short Message, a new free Silent Hill game that will launch of PlayStation 5 later today. Konami describes The Short Message as a "short-form" Silent Hill title that's meant to be the first of a wave of new Silent Hill games to help revive the franchise. Apparently they're not counting

SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HILL: THE SHORT MESSAGE? Definitely play it if you have a PlayStation 5 and are open to horror games that tackle darker subject matter. Silent Hill: The Short Message is a completely free title with no monetization whatsoever. While it tells a standalone story, there are also hints at what we might see in future Silent Hill games, like Silent Hill f and Townfall. After the disaster

SHOULD I PLAY KINGDOM: THE BLOOD? If you’re a huge fan of Netflix’s Kingdom and are looking for a lightweight, grindy action game, this one might be worth checking out. Kingdom: The Blood adapts the mix of historical thriller and zombie horror from that streaming series into a fairly basic action game where you move through levels slicing up zombies, performing combos, and taking on powerful bosses. What’s here isn’t bad by any means, but it feels very stripped-down and bare-bones at the moment, so if you’re interested in something deeper, it may leave you wanting.

The resident evil series is pretty well known for being growtesk. From when I played Biohazard, they didn’t hold out on me. This was the only resident evil game I played. That didn’t stop me from completing the game. All the monsters looked cool and felt disgusting to look at. Even the endgame boss was innocent at first. Throughout the game, you would see an old woman in a wheelchair. She didn’t seem to have much purpose; seeing her in different places of the house. That is until you get to the end of the game. She turns out to the little girl that caused of what has been going on in the game. She just wanted to have a family. Then, she turns into some kind of black, gooey, and kinda stringy looking face. But that isn’t the only thing you have to face. You had to go against the entire family before get to the end. The strong and ruthless father, the big loving mother, the crazy and sadistic son. Not to mention all the molded creatures all over the house; with only a mouth to attack. There are many games of resident evil like this, but this is the one that I remember.

Horrifying is an understatement to what you see in the Silent Hill franchise. The most outstandingly horrific creatures I’ve ever seen were in Silent Hill 2. You can find a lot of them in this picture.

SHOULD I PLAY THE DAY BEFORE? Please skip this game. Don’t hurt yourself like this. The Day Before offers nothing but painful technical issues, boring extraction shooter gameplay, unpolished visuals, and a series of other problems that make this game not even worth considering. TIME PLAYED I played The Day Before for two and a half hours. I completed the first chapter and a few missions, but due to incredibly bad technical issues, I could not continue playing. The problems in

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game by Behaviour Interactive. One player is the Killer, while four others are Survivors. The Killer hunts and sacrifices Survivors to appease the Entity, while Survivors must evade capture and power up generators to escape. It's a game absolutely packed with murderous monsters, both original and licensed from other franchises.

Here we are with the new generation horror game with a simple concept but do you think the horror is simple.....
